Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

People are complicated. Love is not.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Come on, man.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Dumbest Persyn On the InterTrons

by John Cole|  August 8, 20057:45 pm| 29 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity

Amanda Marcotte. Read my original post. Read the moronic response. And I mean moronic in the most gender neutral manner possible. That, folks, is what it looks like when you take the short yellow bus to your Womyn’s Studies classes. A.) I never advocated the study was accurate. Lindsay Beyerstein claims it is. B.) I …

Composition #2, Cole and pets

by RSA|  October 3, 20158:09 am| 72 Comments

This post is in: Excellent Links, Blogospheric Navel-Gazing

Here you go. Many but not all of John Cole’s greatest hits. I haven’t included some links, for different reasons: there were too many posts to choose from on a given topic (on Schiavo, or on alcoholism, for example); I wasn’t sure exactly which post a comment referred to; or I simply couldn’t track something …

Is here. *** Update *** I see the dumbest person on the intertrons has referred to me as a whiny conservative for, well, I guess having the audacity to link to Jeff. Question: If Amanda Marcotte trips on her penis while walking in the woods, when her head hits the ground, would it sound like …

Jesse Jackson Speaks

by John Cole|  September 3, 20054:21 pm| 86 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity, Outrage

On CNN, Jesse Jackson about the response to the flood/hurricane: “There is a feeling that the last few days without food and water was like being in the hull of a slave ship.” I’ll start the discussion. F—K YOU, JESSE. Also, the dumbest person on the intertrons has some related thoughts that Jeff and Ace …

Another Study That Will Piss Everyone Off

by John Cole|  August 26, 20051:33 pm| 59 Comments

This post is in: Science & Technology

This is going to be another one of these studies that everyone argues about because they simply do/don’t like the results: Academics in the UK claim their research shows that men are more intelligent than women. A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on …
